So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

[jazzbo]

Today I felt like starting off with some Bud Freeman. This one has some really interesting work on clarinet by Peanuts Hucko, who I saw in San Antionio before he passed away. I love this style of jazz. It's hard to feel bad when it's spinning. And Bud had a certain shape to his sound that was both heavy and light at once. That's the best way I can describe it.

I think that description is right on the money.

Disc 1 of 4. This was a great deal, used for 12 dollars. www.dustygroove.com has a new copy for 23 which is still a great deal.

Sound isn't perfect, but seems pretty decent on all discs (mono).

Ray Charles "Antibes 1961"

Harold Land's Take Aim, but on the Mighty Quinn CD version which looks like this: 

Maybe a prime candidate for a BN vinyl reissue? Great album proper, even without the live bonus track included on this CD. The track Reflections is my favorite here.

She's old, and so is her voice. But never fatally. Quite the contry, this is a pretty darn good record!

FJC was going mad for this one recently. I'm actually pretty impressed by it.
